The source added Lisa was "baffled" over her pal's death and added Matthew may have taken some of his prescribed medication which may not have been suitable to take before entering hot water.

Matthew introduced his fans to Alfred on Instagram back in 2021. Alongside a photo, he wrote in a post: "This is me and [Alfred]. Who's cuter? Don't answer that." He later teased alongside a photo of Alfred wearing a crown: "We all know who rules the Perry household even without the crown."
The cast of Friends are said to be "reeling" following the news of Matthew's death this week. A source told PageSix : "The cast is reeling from the loss of their brother, because that's what Matty was - their brother. It's just devastating."
